Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon has officially locked in its full release date for May 23, 2025, following a long journey through Early Access and community feedback. Developed by Questline and published by Awaken Realms, the game is a dark open-world RPG inspired by Arthurian legend — but with a twist of survival, horror, and brutal combat.
Described by many as “The Indie Skyrim that Bethesda Should Learn From”, this ambitious title offers 70+ hours of exploration, branching quests, and a heavy focus on player freedom.
Let’s break down what makes this game a must-play in 2025.
🛡️ What is Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon?
Set 600 years after the fall of King Arthur, the game drops you into a decaying Avalon plagued by strife, political collapse, and a supernatural force called The Wyrdness. As one of the few who can stand against the chaos, your choices will shape the fate of the realm.
This is not your typical fantasy RPG. Think Skyrim meets Dark Souls, but with a twisted Arthurian heart.
